The Problem

Most families spend their life savings building a home, often without proper cost planning or expert guidance. Architects charge lakhs. Contractors mislead. Material prices vary by location. Most families end up overspending by 20–40% or getting cheated.

There was no free, intelligent tool that could give a common realistic construction estimate — BuildSmart fixes that now.
